As things stood then, the wile and I had $30 and a gasoline credit card with ' which to vacation for a whole week. Since $20 is hardly tip ping money, I reasoned that the thing for me to do was to par ley my vacation into some spending money. Hurricane lone seemed to be the best answer. The storm was just making front page news in most of the dallies of the state and from all indications would hit along the Atlantic coast. My whole Idea (I failed to mention it to the wife until much later ? women, you know, have a way of changing one's plans, especially If one's plans entail searching out a nice un friendly hurricane) was to track this hurricane and be on hand with my cameras when it hit the coast. By peddling pictures of the storm and damage I fig ured I could fatten the_coffers of the Brady Vacation Fund. So, with added zeal I set abo?l to track Hurricane lone. I studied all the weather maps I could find (and Interpret) and with a hastily devised sys tem I reached the conclusion that the storm would bre?k In the vicinity of Charleston, S. C. With this secret I suggested to the wife: "Why don't we drop down to Charleston . . . historic old city, you know . . . just bristles with interesting hurr ? I mean, homes." Unsuspicious soul that she is, she thought the idea was a choice one. The first part of my plot was hatched. We head ed for Charlestop. "Why don't we take our time and spend the night in Colum bia," the wife suggested. "There's really no hurry, is there?" "I'm really not tired," I an swered, almost too hastily. "It's just a couple of hundred miles on to Charleston . . . and, hah, hah, what's a couple of hundred miles when you're on vacation." "I smell a rat!" Clariece de clared. almost menacingly. "Really, let's stop and see if we can find it," 1 acknowledg ed jovially. I Her eyebrow shot up sudden j ly: "Don't be a wise one! You I know very well what I mean. You're up to something." And then a light of dawning flashed in her eyes: "Where is the hurricane, Mr. Hotshot Re porter?" "Oh, somewhere out in the big, broad, bhie Atlantic," I answered lightly. "You are a first class . . "Tsh, Tsh ..." I interrupted. . . STINKER!" she finish ed. The next few miles of South Carolina highway rolled along in silence, save for an occa sional chirp of a cricket. "Gettin' dark," I observed. 8ilence. Tired?" More silence. ?Hungry?" And still more. Then finally: What a vaca tion this is going to be . . . the first one we've had in seven J years and you want to tackle a \ hurrican." More silence. Meanwhile, out at the corral; ( well, that is, down in Charles ton, they were sure enough readying for the hurricane, { which, according to my calcula- j tions, was barreling toward the j coast, and which, if it stayed on present course, would hit j Charleston squarely between the Cooper River Bridge and the Battery. In still more silence the wife and I settled down to supper and then disposed of $6 more at a motel. It was here, at the motel, that I was officially wel comed to the seacoast. A vul ture-type mosquito vaccinated me as soon as I entered the room, raising a welt big enough to hang a hat on. And this was just the begin ning. As you probably know. Hurri cane lone changed her mind at the last minute and turned away from Charleston. The only indication of her presence was a little wind, which served only to centralize the bugs and mos quitoes. Sun absolutely ("It serves you right for being so smart," was the wife's retortei refused to shine so I obviously have no pictures to show. And no sun means also that I have no coat of tan to brag ' about. However, I do have an enviable coat of mosquito bites, if anyon# is Interested ? that Is. if you can see the mosquito bites for the sand fly bites. 1 Not fro be completely bested . by this abortive vacation at- \ tempt. I did go swimming in the ocean one time. This was the day following lone and the undertow nearly pulled me out to sea ? '"Which Is where you should be after pulling tbe stunt you did," said you know who.) The $20 we had vanished in the wake of motels, seafood dinners, and insect repellent ? (?'They should have a repellent for husbands who louse up va cations by chasing hurricanes," said she.)
